The most recent article I can find has Jacobs at 50.2% and McMurrary at 48.3%.

But also:

Jacobs and McMurray will face off once again in November for a full two-year term in Congress

so this particular election is only for a very short time. Lets hope Jacobs wins again in November.

It says at the top of that article that the results reported are only for that one county, not the entire district. But assuming the Wikipedia is correct, 69-30 to 55-44 after mail-in ballots indicates heavy fuckery by the democrats

Over 50% of the votes cast were mail-in ballots. This is crazy. Running the numbers, this means 63% of mail-in votes for the Democrat. Over 75k votes were cast in total. Someone needs to find out how many votes were cast for NY-27 in the past few elections for comparison. I would find it plausible that Democrats would lean towards mail-in while Republicans would lean towards in-person voting, based on each side's attitude towards the pandemic, but 69-30 and 63-36 is a crazy difference.
